Since you're gone my empty arms have nothing left to hold

So I've been slacking off with writing lately, but maybe this will get me back into the good old routine. Especially since I need to finish two things and post one which is done and lacks something I can't figure out.

Title: My Darling Clementine
Rating: PG13 to be safe
Characters: Sawyer, Clementine, Walt
Word counting: 2530
Disclaimer: Lost is not mine, goddamnit. I don't do time travel.
Spoilers: Up to the S4 finale.
Summary: “Well, I know your dad because I was in the same plane crash.”
A/N: won second place at lostfichallenge #78, the next generation, and 10_shakespeare, "Your 'if' is the only peace-maker; much virtue in 'if'!". It's, uhm, I don't know where the hell it came from. I'm not making use of the song of the title, though.



( He thinks, 'What if I wrote that letter Cassidy wanted me to write.' )

Title: Way Down In The Hole
Rating: very light R for one thing that happens at some point
Characters: Desmond
Words: 3835
Summary: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42, execute, 108.
Spoilers: up to LTDA.
Disclaimer: if it was mine I’d have never been so sadistic towards Desmond *pouts*
A/N: for Queen elliotsmelliot at lostsquee with all of my best courtsy wishes and shared love for the man inside the blue shirt, even if he doesn’t wear it here. Not really of the happy sort and probably not very in line with the prompt, but hereby is Desmond’s staying in the hatch after the plane crashes. ♥ Using also for 10_shakespeare, "I shall do my friends no wrong, for I have none to lament me, the world no injury, for in it I have nothing; only in the world I fill up a place, which may be better supplied when I have made it empty." Title stolen from the Queen-knows-what ;)

( You've been shaving everyday for the last three years. You need to live a little, let go. )

I mean, I wrote this in half an hour and it took me one to find the title. *headdesk* And I'll be off to university now *sigh*.

Title: The Ground Beneath His Feet
Pairing: Jack/Sawyer (sort of)
Word counting: 1000
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Not mine. Come on, if they were I'd be much richer than I am.
Spoilers: General S4, implied the finale.
Summary: Sawyer doesn’t ask him anything; why is he alone, are the others coming too, where are they in case they are alive, how and from where did he swim up here.
A/N: written for lostfichallenge #74, pictures. The one I chose is under the cut. Also using for 10_shakespeare, "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.". Don't ask me why those two were the first I thought about when seeing that picture, it just came and I had to get it out, even if I still think that it's one of the most difficult pairings to write ever existed and I don't really know where it came from or where it wanted to go. Title shamelessly stolen from a U2 song after more time spent searching for a sort of decent one than for writing this whole thing.

( Jack doesn’t ask him why he’s alone, either; Sawyer doesn’t pressure it. )

So yes, that scene so ate my mind that I spent half of last night in a sort of writing frenzy and still totally high from the joys that Des/Penny brings shippers. So yes, I need to get this out before I get all chocked up on watching it again.

Title: Days Aren't Long Enough
Characters/Pairing: Desmond/Penny
Rating: R
Disclaimer: For once the same thing would have happened if they were mine, but they aren't, trust me.
Word count: 1600
Spoilers: For There's No Place Like Home 2 and 3.
Summary: The week on Penny's boat before the Oceanic Six leave.
A/N: Using for 10_shakespeare, "We that are true lovers run into strange capers.". Title stolen from a Steve Earle song. Not totally angst free, but well, it's mostly happy stuff. Now I hope I didn't get too sappy here but I said it, I'm totally high on that scene and in a total I want them too make out till there's no tomorrow mood, so well, I warned. Won for best het fic at lost_fic_awards, May 2008.





( They kiss for hours; Desmond only counts two 108 minutes intervals before he loses track of time. )

I blame this on lenina20 only ♥. I wouldn't have even thought about it otherwise. I really am so not sure about it (and hell, where is that part of me that once wrote a complete threesome in Italian without chickening out? Well, seems like it's asleep *kicks it*) but I'm sure that the finale will make this seem completely AU so well, here we go.

Title: Are Birds Free from the Chains of the Skyway?
Pairing: every possible combination of Sawyer/Juliet/Desmond
Rating: R. Probably the less detailed threesome you ever read.
Disclaimer: Sure as hell they're not mine.
Word count: around 2300
Spoilers: For Cabin Fever.
Summary: Sawyer knows that for Desmond and Juliet this island is nothing short than a prison. He understands them; he knows what it feels like.
A/N: Won third place at lostfichallenge #73, freedom. Also using for 10_shakespeare, "Can one desire too much of a good thing?". The title comes from Bob Dylan's 'Ballad in Plain D' and it's kind of relevant. The title, not the song, that is as far from this as it could get. Half written in yesterday's lectures' pauses, because I clearly can't do anything else.



( So, it’s the three of them and they’re lost. Simple as that. )

I never should give in to plot bunnies during lectures.

Title: I'm Headed Nowhere But Downhill
Characters: Hurley, Sayid, Kate, Jack
Rating: PG13, but sort of deals with drug use. What's with me and drugs?
Disclaimer: If they were mine they wouldn't have been in the FFs situations to begin with...
Word count: 400
Spoilers: Up to 4x10.
Summary: Jack isn't the only one with Oxycodone related issues.
A/N: so I wrote more than half of this in the interval between two lectures today. Drabbles again and yeah, Steve Earle stolen title and everything again. What's with me, Steve and drabbles? Inspired by his Oxycontin Blues. And I checked, Oxycontin and Oxycodone are more or less the same thing. How would I have had the idea otherwise? ;) Massive angst alert, hell yes. Entering for lostfichallenge #72: the Oceanic Six (and yes, I spared Sun all the drama) and using also for 10_shakespeare, “True is it that we have seen better days.”

( In retrospective, Jack knows he should have taken something lighter than that. )

So I went for the Great Mix Up of the century, in the end. Thanks to lenina20 who made me realize that it was actually possible to mix both of my ideas up ;) now I hope it's not too off.

Title: Wedding Day
Rating: PG13
Characters/Pairing: Sarah, Kate, Jack/Juliet
Word counting: 3736
Disclaimer: knowing Darlton, this will never happen.
Spoilers: For Eggtown, the Sarah episodes and general S4.
Summary: They look so happy and pleased with each other that Kate can’t refrain from thinking about her own wedding and a sudden feeling of sadness rushes all over her. Because she knows that if she had caught the ball when it was in her court, it may have been her on that aisle.
A/N: for lostfichallenge #69, beginnings and endings; also for 10_shakespeare, "How bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes!". I seriously hope that I've not jumped the shark and that I've done a decent thing with Kate & Sarah, who are definitely not my favorite characters to date. Heavily inspired by Bon Jovi's Wedding Day since I had the idea listening to it; it's a demo from ten years ago or such but it's nonetheless an awesome song, IMHO. Oh, and the courthouse really exists and the number is the real one with two numbers changed. I googled it ;)

( Sarah takes the card again, turning it in her hands over and over, trying to figure out what this means. Jack is getting married. )
